I would recommend converting both documents to text files and then opening
one in Word and comparing it to the other. This will give you a clear
differentiation between the text of the two documents.

I work in a law firm where we will email a document to a client for editing
and then need to compare it to our original document to track changes. I
have
suggested to our lawyers that they use Word 2000's Compare Documents
feature.
However, I need to know the following:

1. How reliable is the Compare Documents feature to catch ALL of the
deletions and/or insertions between two documents?

2. If there are tracked changes all ready in our original document and we
then compare the client's revised document with our original revised
document, all the deletions and/or insertions end up the same colour. I am
not able to get Word to identify authors with a different colour. Does
anybody know of any work around?
